Here is
the third CFB SBPI installment of the 2016 season!To read more about how I calculate my ratings
look back atthis entrythat also has links to
other entries surrounding this topic.

Without
further ado here are the Top 25 rankings through Week Eight. The columns OFF/DEF/TOTAL represent
where each team statistically ranks across 128 teams in the FBS; we also included
Sagarin’s rankings which can be used as a solid comparison tool followed by
each team’s SOS adjusted RATING and RANK:
